The First Basket: A Jewish Basketball Documentary

Found October 21, 2008 on Slam Dunk Central:
Long before basketball was synonymous with hip-hop, the game was associated with klezmer music. Before the parents of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and LeBron James, were born came the pioneers of basketball. Men like Ossie Schectman, who scored the first points in the NBA. Other players named Sonny Hertzberg, Stan Stutz, Hank Rosenstein, Ralph Kaplowitz, Jake Weber, dominated the early days of basketball.
